Episode 024: "The Samurai Poets"

This week, inspired by the recent television epic, "Shogun," Tawny and JDK explore the "yin and yang" dichotomy of how Japanese samurai learned both the arts of war and the arts of the mundane like poetry, tea ceremonies, calligraphy, art, and more. At the heart of the conversation is how we experience nature and the larger world from an embodied state as opposed to a strictly intellectual / thinking space. See how you experience those different spaces as you listen to the conversation!

Episode 021: A Circus of Joyful Children

This week's story about kids learning circus skills in one of the world's largest refugee camps becomes a larger conversation about the importance of play for its own sake, no matter the age. While it can be difficult as adults to not turn play into a set of goals, it is a better pathway to resilience if we allow children (and ourselves) to simply experience what our bodies can learn and do.
